[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have two small kids and writing notes or labels in bold is a daily need. This marker pulls its weight for many tasks! As seen in the photo this writes fine or fat or even calligraphy style if you don’t make the effort to choose narrow or wide. The ink flows freely even in fast writing so no scrape marks where ink doesn’t have full coverage. That said it also doesn’t bleed out too fast. Flipping to the reverse side of the paper I don’t see it leaking to the other side (forgot a photo alas). I can label clothes with this write a quick bold note or even do letter work on a poster. I like that the cap spots squarely on the end during use and you don’t have to keep track of it sitting on its own. The feel in the hand is also nice— slightly more girth than a simple fine-tip marker or a pen so your brain intuitively knows “I’m holding a more serious writing instrument here ” hah! The only thing I can’t give an A+ for with evidence is how long the marker will last but if it turns out to be unnaturally short then I’ll come back to leave an updated or new review. Glad to have these in my pen jar!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been really pleased with the Staples Duramark Tank Markers. Overall they’re bold reliable and write incredibly well. I used them for labeling boxes creating signs and general office use. They performed consistently across the board. The chisel tip is a standout feature. It offers excellent control letting me switch between thick and thin lines easily which made writing both precise and legible. The ink is sharp bold and doesn’t smudge even on slicker surfaces which was a huge plus. What I liked most was how clean and professional the writing looked. Whether I was jotting notes or labeling storage the lines stayed crisp and didn’t fade or smear. The only downside was that the cap doesn’t stay securely attached to the end of the marker when in use. I like to keep the cap on the back while writing for convenience but it kept falling off which was a bit annoying. Aside from that small issue this is a fantastic set of permanent markers especially if you need a large quantity for work or home use. Would definitely recommend!
